true, pre-ignition is when one flame front starts before the plug lights off, but the actual "ping" noise that you hear when it's happening is the two flame fronts running into eachother. It's true that two flame fronts will make energy quicker, but it cannot make more assuming 1 flame front will consume all the fuel.

besides, you'd want the flame front to take its sweet time. the longer it pushes down on the piston, the more effective power you're making.

And if this "groove technology" is so amazing, why dont they use it in racing?
